Full Description
In 1959 occupation debris identified from two places in the low cliff face on the west shore. A shallow earth-filled depression, unexcavated, some 3 ft below surface and about 12 ft wide in exposed section (SZ 00918694) yielded a small amount of native coarse pottery, not closely dateable. Unworked shale fragments are said to occur. Some 200 yds NW, a narrow feature, perhaps a gully (SZ 00838710), had a similar sherd and a fragment possibly of Romano- British salting briquetage (1).
